‘By Eddie Ash 11 HOME RUNS IN 1936 CLASSIC
ONE SERIES REQUIRED 13 DAYS
Ys
HIGHLIGHTS in World Series of other years... Eleven home runs were smacked in last year’s classic, Lou Gehrig and George Selkirk leading with two apiece. . . . The Yankees belted seven round-trippers, the Giants four. . «. The total of 11 was one short of the record of 12 posted tin 1925 when the Pirates defeated the Senators, four ‘games to three. . . . The losing Senators collected eight
of the dozen homers.
Probably the most sensational World Series innin was played in the title battle of 1929 between the Cubs and
Athletics. . . . On Oct. 12 in
Philadelphia, in the fourth
game the Athletics went to bat in the seventh with the ‘score 8 to 0 against them. . . . Charlie Root was on the Bruins’ mound and was leveling for a shutout. . . . The Mackmen were held to two hits in six innings. Then the Athletics opened up a bombardment in the _seventh that never halted until 10 hits had been exploded, “and 10 runs swirled across the plate. . . . The American
Leaguers won the game, 10-8,

IN 1929 in the opener Howard Ehmke of the Athletics struck out 13 Cubs and won, 3-1. ... Smoky Joe Wood of the Red Sox registered 21 strikeouts in the 1912 series.
The modern classic was
originated in 1903 by the
Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox. . .. The postseason contest was the result of challenges and acceptances -by the clubs and did not have league supervision. . . . Bos-

wW=t the Boston team repeated its triumph in the American League in 1904, the Red Sox challenged the New York Giants to a series and Manager John McGraw refused to send his pennant winners against the American League “upstarts” ... His reply that he did not wish to “endanger the standing of my team by sending it .against a minor league club” almost precipitated a new baseball war. Truce was declared in the winter of 1904-05 by agreeing to an .annual post-season series, to begin in 1905, when the leagues took over

The opener was played on Oct. 14 and the finale on Oct. 26. : In the 1925 classic between Pittsburgh and Washington, the Senators captured three out of the first four games and were spending the winners’ spoils when the Pirates came to life and won the next

EFORE the Pittsburgh-Detroit World Series of 1909 the fans of both cities were agog over what Ty Cobb and Hans Wagner, who
were the two stars of the country that year, would do .
